Not as difficult as time travel, but it’s difficult enough so that for 30+ years IT professionals have tried to skirt the issue by adding more bandwidth between locations or by rolling out faster routers and switches. Each switch and router we pass through introduces a bit of latency that adds up quickly. How latency is measured.

In this blog, we will explore what static routes are, how they differ from dynamic routes, and how to configure them on routers like Cisco devices. This feature in networks predicts and stabilizes the topology. This characteristic makes them efficient for routers with limited processing capabilities. What is a Static Route?

This includes the ability to: Dynamically adjust to changes in network topology Detect and respond to outages Route around faults in order to maintain connectivity and service levels. While redundancy is a significant contributor to network resilience, other mechanisms, protocols, and methods can also contribute to overall network resilience.

Kentik Cloud users can now access the new Kentik Map for Google Cloud to automatically visualize detailed Google Cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure topology. In addition, the map visualizes Dedicated Interconnect attachments, VM interfaces, and VPN gateways with their associated on-prem and cloud routers.

This configuration is known as a “split-tunnel” configuration and is set up by rules to exclude specific ports, protocols, or networks. If the VPN gateways cannot generate flow or Syslog with traffic, the next richest data comes from the edge routers or switches near the VPN devices. More advanced VPNs can do this by application type.

Be it power supplies, servers, routers, load balancers, proxies, or any other physical and virtual network components, the horizontal scaling that redundancy provides is the ultimate safety net in the presence of failure or atypical traffic demands.

SNMP is the oldest of the network management protocols in use today. That includes adding in high-value data such as threat feed and threat modeling, routing, topology, and other important networking information to model answers to difficult questions. When is SNMP Used?
